The sound of machine gunfire sounded like a blowing wind, and the bullets were as dense as raindrops.

Fortunately, in this area, Ming Dynasty built reinforced concrete fortifications in advance.

Bullets rained down on the outside of the bunker, and the cement wall was chewed away layer by layer, exposing the steel bars inside.

Hiding in the bunker, listening to the "bang" and "bang" sounds outside, it was really frightening.

The most deadly thing was the howitzer shells, which hit the fortifications with a whistle.

The reinforced concrete on top of the fortification was directly blown open. Although the fortification was not blown open, almost all the people inside were shocked to death.

"Artillery support, area 8-2-1, covered by artillery fire." Li Jiu held the phone in his hand and shouted so loud that he could hardly speak.

It's not that he wanted to shout like this, but the noise was too loud and he couldn't hear it unless he shouted loudly.

Throughout the morning, he kept reporting the coordinates to the artillery position behind him.

Stacks of cannonballs created a wall of fire in front of the position. Anything that tried to pass through this wall of fire was torn to pieces by the cannonballs.

"Change the barrel!" the machine gunner roared, and the deputy gunner hurriedly removed the barrel while wearing thick gloves.

The hot barrel was thrown aside and immediately ignited the withered grass.

"Run quickly, you idiot!" the machine gunner roared loudly.

Without waiting for the assistant shooter to change the barrel, he grabbed the machine gun and ran away.

After running for more than ten meters, a mortar hit the exact location.

If you stay there now, you will be killed directly.

"You bitch, if you cause any trouble, I will kill you."

"Squad...! Squad leader, don't be angry." The deputy shooter was a recruit who had been in the army for less than a year.

I was very frightened to see the veteran angry!

"You...!" The machine gunner raised his hand and slowly lowered it.

This is the third assistant shooter replaced in five days!

On the battlefield, the machine gunner is an extremely dangerous position. The opponent's mortars are basically focused on his own machine gun.

This is very similar to the tactics of the Ming army. Li Jiu used to think that the Kurds had high tactical literacy.

Unexpectedly, there were real Hebrews on the opposite side.

The continuous attacks finally stopped, and the battlefield was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke. The smell even overshadowed the smell of blood emanating from the corpses.

The area two hundred meters in front of the site is littered with corpses, some intact, but most of them fragmented.

Many people were killed by machine guns, and then unfortunately they were blown up by artillery shells.

Whenever artillery shells fell two to three hundred meters in front of the position, Li Jiu would always jump to his feet and curse.

That must be a naval gun. At this distance, the navy's gun has no accuracy at all.

It was lucky not to hit one's own position.

The correspondent brought two steamed buns, but Li Jiu pushed them away.

"Water!" Li Jiu felt that his throat was sore and burning. At this time, the only way to quench his thirst was to drink water.

The correspondent handed over a kettle, and Li Jiu filled his stomach with water.

When the water flows through the throat, it feels slightly better.

But after the flow was cut off, the burning pain returned.

After slowly pouring a bottle of water, I couldn't eat the buns anymore.

Li Jiu lay down at the observation port of the bunker, looking at the position opposite and taking a breath.

The attack from the opposite side today was too fierce. In just one morning, three large-scale attacks were launched.

I don’t know how many small-scale exploratory attacks there were.

Anyway, from the moment the sun came up, the gunfire never stopped.

It had just been quiet here for a while, and the phone rang.

The correspondent answered the phone and quickly handed the phone to Li Jiu.

Finally I understand why the opponent is attacking so fiercely!

At the junction between his platoon and his brother's troops, a five hundred meter long hole was torn open.

No less than 300 Kurds had already poured into the battle line through the gap, and the camp decided to close the gap.

There are fifty people from the direct team of the battalion, and the rest have to be made up by each company.

The quotas were allocated layer by layer, and when it came to Li Jiu, there were eight people!

The troops were already stretched thin, and they were preparing to ask for reinforcements. However, they did not expect that eight more men would be sent out to participate in the bloody counterattack.

Helpless, Li Jiu had no choice but to squeeze out six people from the bunker, which was a little more prosperous.

Li Jiu picked up an Aka rifle by himself and took the correspondent to gather eight people.

Following the order, Li Jiu arrived at the starting position of the junction.

The team was led by a sharp-faced captain!

Li Jiu didn't know him, he was definitely not an officer in the battalion or even in the regiment.

"We are all men of the Liao Army. Don't say anything else. See what I do, and you can do it.

If you have diarrhea and are holding you back, grandpa knows you, but the bullets in grandpa’s gun don’t know you."

The knife-faced captain glanced outside, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of men climbed out of the trench.

Try to keep your body as close to the ground as possible without stirring up too much dust. This job is actually very tiring!

But in order to survive, no one complained.

Then, under the cover of the terrain, we climbed to the bottom of a slope. With the help of the cover, we finally regained our breath.

"Add the machine guns and spread the mortars on the twenty-meter stand. You, just you, that second lieutenant. Come here!"

The captain pointed at Li Jiu's nose. There were only two officers here. Apart from the captain, the only remaining officer was the second lieutenant.

Li Jiu approached the captain!

"You command the fire team here, and the machine gun is responsible for suppression.

Mortars, let me fight the opponent's machine guns with all my might.

It’s up to you how many people can survive here.”

The captain put Li Jiu on the shoulder. Any officer who can charge into battle is a good officer.

There are no heroic words, and there is no heroic scene where you shout: "Go!"

The captain waved his hand and was the first to leap onto the slope.

Almost at the same time as he climbed the slope, he pulled the trigger in his hand.

The overbearing sound of the Aka rifle makes people's eardrums hurt.

Almost at the moment when people stepped out of the slope, Li Jiu ordered to shoot at the Kurdish soldiers behind the slope.

mg43 made the sound of tearing linen, and the scorching bullets flew towards the Kurds like locusts.

A burst of dust appeared in front of the Kurds, and blood was flying in the dust.

As soon as the charge started, a squad of Kurds were shot down by machine guns.

"Da da da da da...!" A dull machine gun sound came over.

Li Jiu felt his scalp tingle when he heard it, that was Maxim's voice.

The telescope quickly found the direction of the machine gun: "Direction 11 o'clock, distance 600 meters."

In the telescope, Li Jiu easily found the tongue of flame spitting out of Maxim's gun.

The artillery directly under the battalion headquarters was very powerful. Just after Li Jiu finished shouting, they had already adjusted their mortars.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Three artillery shells hit him, and several plumes of gunpowder smoke rose in front of the machine gun.

The calculation soldier quickly adjusted the angle of the gun and soon fired a second salvo.

Li Jiu looked through the telescope and saw the scene of machine gun ammunition exploding. The Kurdish machine gun position was finished!

At this time, the charging people had been suppressed by the opponent's firepower in the open space. They lay on the ground and exchanged fire with the opponent.

From time to time, one or two screams were heard, which was considered an embellishment among the dense gunfire.

Li Jiu grabbed his machine gun squad leader and pointed at the small high slope on the other side of the slope: "Go over there and press down the opponent's machine gun."

"No!" the machine gun squad leader agreed, and ran away with his men holding the machine guns.

They followed the cover of the terrain and ran behind the slope. They scrambled up the slope and found themselves on the flank of the enemy's line.

mg43 stood up, with the sound of tearing linen.
